Sony might evidently be planning some changes, or what they like to refer to as “upgrades” to PS Plus. For some reason I’m always wary and immediately suspicious when the word “upgrade” gets flung around when it comes to subscription services, because in my cynical little mind, it rarely bodes well. And there is always a catch. Evidently the changes …

Remember how I was raving about Jujutsu Kaisen not too long ago? Apparently I’m not the only one that makes like a chef and pinches my fingers to describe its excellence, as the hot new action show just scooped the top prize the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. To the surprise of probably nobody, Jujutsu Kaisen took home the top prize and several more over the weekend.

Where Jujutsu Kaisen is simply okay, it more than makes up for it with not only some of the most breath-taking action sequences ever animated, but also some of the freshest that its genre has seen in years.

Announced on the weekend, this year’s nominees for best anime include a few obvious heavyweights such as the surprise hit Jujutsu Kaisen, the wonderfully weird Dorohedoro, and furry-magnet Beaststars.

When it comes to watching anime online, there have always been two primary streaming platforms: Funimation and Crunchyroll. Each streaming service has had its own share of heavyweight series with which to tempt viewers, but the line between them is about to be crossed out as they do the fusion dance and combine into one entity.

Tokyo is burning, and citizens are mysteriously suffering from spontaneous human combustion all throughout the city! Responsible for snuffing out this inferno is the Fire Force, and Shinra is ready to join their fight. Now, as part of Company 8, he’ll use his devil’s footprints to help keep the city from turning to ash! But his past and a burning secret behind the scenes could set everything ablaze.

It’s time to honour the best that 2018 had to offer, and what better way to do so than with an awards show? This year, anime streaming service Crunchyroll will be doing just that with the Anime Awards. Scheduled for broadcast on February 16 at 6PM PT (Which is an ungodly hour of 4AM in local African time), the third annual Anime Awards will be available for streaming on Twitch.

We're going to be returning to the neo-noir sci-fi world of Blade Runner, as a brand new anime series titled Blade Runner - Black Lotus is being developed for release on Adult Swim and Crunchyroll.
